Lyrics
Shadows talk where you've been
Shadows represent hidden aspects of the past or secrets.
My whole life I've waited for your sin
The speaker has long anticipated or desired the experience of your wrongdoing.
If I told but a soul I don't think that they'd respect me then
Fear of judgment prevents the speaker from revealing a secret.
I can't stop thinking how the days move on and leave behind
Reflecting on the relentless progression of time and the lingering impact of past experiences.
A bitter taste I cannot shake of time-forgotten valentines
A lingering and unpleasant memory of forgotten romantic moments.
They take my brain they run it back
External influences manipulate the speaker's thoughts.
My haunted recollections stack
Memories, possibly disturbing, accumulate in the speaker's mind.
My past is too much weight to bear
The speaker feels burdened by a heavy and regrettable past.
I brush it off 'cause I don't care
Despite the weight, the speaker dismisses the past, showing indifference.
I don't care!
Reiteration of the speaker's indifference to the past.
No, I don't care
Emphasis on the speaker's lack of concern for the past.
I don't care at all, okay?
Asserting a complete lack of concern for the past.
If we went dancing
Contemplating a scenario involving dancing, possibly metaphorical.
Would you pick my dress for me?
Asking if the listener would influence the speaker's choices.
Would you tell me that if looks could kill I'd be on TV
Desiring validation for attractiveness, even if it's potentially harmful.
The paparazzi only crawls all-hallow's eve
Highlighting attention, especially negative, on a specific occasion.
Drop dead gorgeous gorgon corpse of make-believe
Describing an imaginary, stunning, but lifeless figure.
Shadows talk where you've been
Repetition of shadows talking, indicating persistent memories.
My whole life I've waited for your sin
Reiteration of anticipation for the listener's wrongdoing.
If I told but a soul I don't think that they'd respect me then
Fear of judgment remains, hindering the speaker's disclosure.
I can't stop thinking how the days move on and leave behind
Continued reflection on the relentless passage of time and lingering memories.
A bitter taste I cannot shake of time-forgotten valentines
Persistent bitter memories of forgotten romantic moments.
They take my brain they run it back
External influences manipulate the speaker's thoughts, again.
My haunted recollections stack
Accumulation of haunting memories in the speaker's mind.
My past is too much weight to bear
Reiterating the heavy burden of the regrettable past.
I brush it off 'cause I don't care
Despite the burden, the speaker remains indifferent to the past.
If we went dancing
Revisiting the hypothetical scenario of dancing, seeking influence.
Would you pick my dress for me?
Repetition of asking the listener to influence the speaker's choices.
Would you tell me that if looks could kill I'd be on TV
Seeking validation for attractiveness, even at the cost of danger.
The paparazzi only crawls all-hallow's eve
Reiterating attention, especially negative, on a specific occasion.
Drop dead gorgeous gorgon corpse of make-believe
Repetition of describing an imaginary, stunning, but lifeless figure.
Shadows talk where you've been
Continued presence of persistent memories or secrets in shadows.
My whole life I've waited for your sin
Persistently desiring the experience of the listener's wrongdoing.
If I told but a soul I don't think that they'd respect me then
Fear of judgment remains, hindering the speaker's disclosure once more.
Greedy eyes draw me in
The allure of captivating eyes, possibly dangerous.
Save me from the ghost of what I've been
Plea for salvation from the haunting specter of the speaker's past.
If I told but a soul I don't think that they'd respect me then
Reiteration of fear of judgment preventing disclosure.
